The Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread (English Edition)

英語版 Cailin O'Connor (著), James Owen Weatherall (著) 形式: Kindle版
5つ星のうち4.4 (340)
"Empowering and thoroughly researched, this book offers useful contemporary analysis and possible solutions to one of the greatest threats to democracy." —Kirkus Reviews
Editors' choice, The New York Times Book Review
Recommended reading, Scientific American
Why should we care about having true beliefs? And why do demonstrably false beliefs persist and spread despite bad, even fatal, consequences for the people who hold them?
Philosophers of science Cailin O'Connor and James Weatherall argue that social factors, rather than individual psychology, are what's essential to understanding the spread and persistence of false beliefs. It might seem that there's an obvious reason that true beliefs matter: false beliefs will hurt you. But if that's right, then why is it (apparently) irrelevant to many people whether they believe true things or not?
The Misinformation Age, written for a political era riven by "fake news," "alternative facts," and disputes over the validity of everything from climate change to the size of inauguration crowds, shows convincingly that what you believe depends on who you know. If social forces explain the persistence of false belief, we must understand how those forces work in order to fight misinformation effectively.
"[The authors] deftly apply sociological models to examine how misinformation spreads among people and how scientific results get misrepresented in the public sphere." —Andrea Gawrylewski, Scientific American
"A notable new volume . . . The Misinformation Age explains systematically how facts are determined and changed—whether it is concerning the effects of vaccination on children or the Russian attack on the integrity of the electoral process." —Roger I. Abrams, New York Journal of Books

レビュー

“Methodical and earnest.”—Jennifer Szalai, New York Times

“The Misinformation Age covers big subjects like truth and the fate of the species” —Jennifer Szalai, International New York Times

“Empowering and thoroughly researched, this book offers useful contemporary analysis and possible solutions to one of the greatest threats to democracy.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[The authors] deftly apply sociological models to examine how misinformation spreads among people and how scientific results get misrepresented in the public sphere. They offer scientific case studies—the discovery that CFCs were responsible for the ozone hole in the 1980s, for example—to explore the question of what constitutes truth and to consider the role that information plays in a healthy democracy.”—Andrea Gawrylewski, Scientific American

“A notable new volume . . .The Misinformation Age explains systematically how facts are determined and changed—whether it is concerning the effects of vaccination on children or the Russian attack on the integrity of the electoral process.”—Roger I. Abrams, New York Journal of Books

"It’s a good read on a very important subject, definitely worth exploring."—Hugh Taylor, Journal of Cyberpolicy

"Engaging and sophisticated. . . . The Misinformation Age captures the threat posed by misinformation in the current political moment."—Steven Slomin, American Scientist

“An important book for an era of weaponized information.”—George Musser, contributing editor, Scientific American and Nautilus

"Fake news has revealed a dark side of networks: an almost unstoppable ability to spread false and misleading information, changing people's perception of reality and shaking the political establishment. The Misinformation Age is a timely, engaging narrative of how this happened and how the mix of fake news and networks is changing our world."—Albert-László Barabási, author of Linked: The New Science of Networks



"In this perilous moment—when knowledge is powerfully eroded by new and effective campaigns of misinformation—O’Connor and Weatherall offer a critically important philosophical defense of evidence, facts, and above all, the truth."—Allan M. Brandt, Harvard University

“The Misinformation Age is the best book I've read on why the fake-news epidemic is afflicting us and what we can do about it. It offers in-depth reporting and provocative analysis delivered in lively prose, a rare combination.”—John Horgan, director of the Center for Science Writings, Stevens Institute of Technology

    **The Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread** is an absolutely **transformative** read that not only captivated my interest but also provided a profound foundation for engaging with complex ethical questions surrounding information, truth, and society. As a graduate student in an ethics class, this book became a cornerstone of my academic exploration, offering critical insights that deepened my understanding of how misinformation permeates public discourse, affects decision-making, and ultimately shapes social and political realities.

    ### **A Masterpiece of Contemporary Thought:**

    In **The Misinformation Age**, Cailin O'Connor and James Owen Weatherall take readers on an eye-opening journey through the mechanisms that allow **false beliefs** to spread and flourish in the digital age. From the viral nature of social media to cognitive biases, the book elegantly lays out how misinformation is not just a phenomenon of isolated cases or occasional errors—it’s **systemic**, deeply embedded in our **social, political, and technological frameworks**.

    For anyone interested in ethics, this book provides an invaluable resource, touching on the fundamental tension between **truth-seeking** and the **power of belief systems**. Throughout the course, the book became a pivotal text, pushing us to critically analyze the **moral implications** of how we receive, disseminate, and internalize information in a world increasingly shaped by digital platforms and widespread misinformation.

    ### **Deeply Analytical and Insightful:**

    One of the reasons **The Misinformation Age** stands out as a remarkable academic resource is the **depth of analysis** it offers. The authors delve into the **psychological and sociological factors** that fuel misinformation, making complex theories accessible and relevant to real-world issues. The discussions on **confirmation bias**, **group polarization**, and **echo chambers** helped me better understand why people tend to accept misinformation, even when confronted with facts that contradict their beliefs.

    The book’s **data-driven approach** reveals the scientific research behind the spread of misinformation, discussing how false beliefs gain momentum through social networks and how these beliefs are often reinforced by the communities to which individuals belong. This was especially enlightening in the context of our graduate ethics discussions, where we explored the **ethical responsibility** of individuals, institutions, and media platforms in addressing and mitigating the harm caused by false information.

    ### **Ethical Dimensions of Misinformation:**

    In my graduate ethics course, this book became an essential text for understanding the **ethical dilemmas** posed by the proliferation of false beliefs. O'Connor and Weatherall challenge readers to confront hard questions about the **moral responsibility** we all share in combatting misinformation. How do we balance **freedom of speech** with the need to curb harmful lies? What ethical obligations do institutions have in correcting falsehoods, especially when these falsehoods have profound societal consequences?

    As we studied issues like public health misinformation (e.g., vaccine skepticism), political disinformation, and the dangers of **manipulative media tactics**, the book provided a framework to consider these questions through the lens of **social ethics** and **epistemic justice**. The authors do not shy away from exploring the darker side of misinformation—its role in **undermining democratic processes**, **exacerbating social divides**, and **harming vulnerable populations**—and they push readers to consider what might be done to protect truth in an age where fact-checking and reliable information are constantly under siege.

    ### **A Crucial Resource for Critical Thinking:**

    As a student in an ethics program, one of the key takeaways from this book was its ability to **sharpen critical thinking**. The book challenges readers to question their own assumptions about information and belief. It encouraged me to think more critically about **how I interact with media** and the **sources of information** I trust. By breaking down the psychological and societal forces at play, the authors make it clear that **everyone**—from casual social media users to political leaders—has a role in **combatting misinformation**.

    The way **The Misinformation Age** intertwines **theoretical knowledge** with **practical implications** made it an essential tool in the classroom. It was not just about theoretical discussions of misinformation, but also about finding **real-world applications** and **ethical solutions** for mitigating the negative impact of false beliefs. For anyone involved in media, politics, or digital technology, this book is a must-read, offering essential ethical guidance for the contemporary landscape.

    ### **Accessible Yet Profound:**

    What truly makes **The Misinformation Age** a powerful addition to my academic journey is its accessibility without sacrificing intellectual rigor. The authors present their ideas in clear, compelling language, making complex concepts like **epistemology**, **social networks**, and **cognitive science** easy to understand. The book invites readers from diverse academic backgrounds to engage in discussions about misinformation without requiring a deep background in philosophy or communication studies.

    This accessibility helped me connect the book’s insights to other areas of my studies, such as **philosophy of science**, **ethics of technology**, and **political philosophy**. It didn’t just feel like a book about misinformation—it felt like an **invitation to think differently** about the modern information ecosystem, the ethics of knowledge, and the responsibilities we hold as both consumers and creators of information.

    ### **A Must-Read for Ethical Leadership:**

    In conclusion, **The Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread** was an indispensable part of my graduate-level ethics class. It sparked rich discussions about the **moral dimensions** of truth, knowledge, and the role we each play in shaping the information landscape. It challenged us to confront uncomfortable truths about the power of misinformation, and in doing so, it pushed us to think critically, act responsibly, and aim for a future where truth is held in the highest regard.

    This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the **ethics of information**, **communication studies**, or **social justice**. It offers not just a compelling analysis of the problems posed by misinformation but also a call to action—urging all of us to play a role in creating a more **truthful**, **equitable**, and **informed** society.

    I found the book pointed out many ways of looking at the world. It points out most of it is about listening to many sources, weighing up what is going on and using common sense. At least that is the way I read it.

    I just wanted to point out that the review that says the book "endorses pc race victimization theory & feminist misandry” takes those sentences out of context. The authors were describing the works of others who criticize the cultural biases of scientists, in order to consider whether that matters when evaluating the scientists' research. In fact, the point they make is that while scientists may actually be biased, that doesn't undermine their results. That's quite different than how it sounds from the review.

    No big deal, but that one misled me when I was thinking whether to get the book.
